A few nights ago, I had a bad dream which involved me rear-ending a minivan.\u00a0 I awoke in the middle of the night as a result, because the grief of getting into a car accident and the resulting fallout stressed me to the point of waking up.\u00a0 The situation was simple – I was behind some woman who couldn’t drive (big surprise), and in my frustration, I was following her a little closer than I normally would follow a person.\u00a0 We turned right onto a road that was going downhill, and then suddenly the woman slams her brakes, and I’m too late myself, and I end up plowing right into her car.<\/p>\n
Usually when a dream like this, that involves car accidents occur, I tend to get extra paranoid that I need to be especially careful when driving around, because it could be a sign of some sort.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today, I decided to drive around for a few minutes, and take the long way back from lunch today.\u00a0 As I’m nearing work again, I pull up to an intersection behind a maroon minivan, and for whatever reason, she comes to a complete stop at a green light.\u00a0 I honk my horn, and she responds by applying her right blinker.\u00a0 The light then turns red, and I’m now pissed.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the opposing traffic was halted by left-turning vehicles, which meant that the lady in the minivan had more than adequate time to make the completely legal right on red.\u00a0 But she didn’t.\u00a0 I’m quite pissed.<\/p>\n
After a good bit of time, she comes to the realization that she could make the right on red, and turns.\u00a0 I follow suit aggressively.\u00a0 The road begins to go downhill.<\/p>\n
And this is where I realize that this was the exact same scenario in which I dreamed about, except for that it was daytime instead of dusk.\u00a0 The minivan that was pissing me off just moments ago was the same minivan from my dreams.<\/p>\n
I eased off the gas and ceased to close the space between us.\u00a0 There was no abrupt reason to slam the brakes for anybody, but had I taken the requisite actions to mimic my dream, I’m sure there would’ve been, since there was mounting volume ahead of us<\/p>\n
Deja vu doesn’t occur that often to me, and even more so, that I actually remember all the corresponding events to actually put it out in writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
